DescriptionA large oak tree stands in a grassy lawn behind an iron fence with stone or wooden gateposts. Small trees, and a larger tree which appears to be an elm, grow along the fence. A man and a woman stand beneath the tree. A two-story house in the right background has three chimneys and a lunette in the gable over the front door with pilasters or columns beneath.
